Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Graves. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

When Lux tries to synergize with Graves, she gets a small decrease in her complete damage output. This change could signal that Graves doesn't help cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played together with Graves on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Graves.
Moreover, when Lux plays with Graves on the same side, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Graves does a decent job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Graves?
There is no perfect synergy for Lux that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. However, Graves is a very typical companion for Lux. By locking into the same team as Lux, he increases their win rate by 0.5% to 50.3%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Lux and Graves that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.
Graves has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players don't need to be cautious when lining up Graves comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing alongside, Lux players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by bringing Lux and Graves together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much cover. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Graves ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
